Default Hazer for Utility Pole?

maybe it was the guy that originally designed it, or it could have
just sounded neat to marketing.

what type of antennas are you planning on putting on the pole?
personally i would put a couple of good screw eyes with pulleys and
run some decent rope through them and use it for wires.

I think the word "Lift" is probably the most accurate term to use.
There is a good series on YouTube referring to "AntennaVater" for the
same type of device.

I want to keep the structure as general as possible so I can continue
to experiment with a broad range of Ham antennas from DC to light. I
shy away from rope because of the limited life expectancy.
